How to add a site map
- Install the “Site map” plugin via the Installer.
- In Site app, open section “Plugins → Site map”.
- Select the site where you want to publish a site map page.
- If you have more than one Site app settlement in that site structure, select any of them and, if necessary, edit the site map page URL or leave the default value.
- Select the website sections to be included in the site map. Be sure to select only the apps which do have a frontend home page. E.g., Mailer app does not have a frontend page; therefore, you do not need to select it.
- Enter any text that must be displayed above site map links.
- Save plugin settings.
- Publish the site map using one of these methods:
Method 1. In your design editor, add the following HTML code in the desired location:
<a href="http://.../sitemap/">Site map</a>
Replace http://.../sitemap/ with the actual site map page URL from plugin settings.
Method 2. Go to “Settings” screen in Site app backend, change the “{$wa->apps()} menu” settings to “Configure” option, and add a new menu item with the site map URL.
Method 3. In HTML source of any website page or design theme template, add the following snippet:
{if $wa->site}{siteSitemapPlugin::html()}{/if}
It might be useful to add it to error.html template file, which is used for displaying "404. Page not found" error message. This will help your visitors faster find their way on your site.
With this method, you may want to disable the displaying of the site map page at the standard URL specified in plugin settings. In this case you decide where exactly the site map must be displayed.
